Research Highlights: Deep Neural Networks and Tabular Data: A Survey

In this regular column, we take a look at highlights for important research topics of the day for big data, data science, machine learning, AI and deep learning. It’s important to keep connected with the research arm of the field in order to see where we’re headed. In this edition, we feature a new paper showing that for tabular data, algorithms based on gradient-boosted tree ensembles still outperform the deep learning models. Enjoy!
